Major refactor & optimization of how modules load their packages
Now that we are loading package autoloads files (as part of the
generated doom-package-autoload-file when running make autoloads), many
:commands properties are redundant. In fact, many def-package! blocks
are redundant.

In some cases, we can do without a config.el file entirely, and can move
into the autoloads file or rely entirely on package autoloads.

Also, many settings have been moved in their module's autoloads files,
which makes them available ASAP; their use no longer depends on module
load order.

This gained me a modest ~10% boost in startup speed.

:feature eval

This modules adds support for evaluating code from inside Emacs, including REPLs.

Install

This module has no external dependencies. However, specific languages may require additional setup.

Check the README.org in that language's module for details.

Usage

REPLs

Invoked via:

  • :repl (evil ex-command)
  • <leader> o r in normal mode (or visual mode, which sends the selection to the open REPL)
  • M-x +eval/open-repl
  • M-x +eval/send-region-to-repl while a selection (and REPL) is active

Code Evaluation

Quickrun can be invoked via:

  • M-x +eval/buffer (or gR, or M-r)
  • M-x +eval/region
  • M-x +eval/region-and-replace
  • Evil users can use the gr operator to select and run a region.

Configuration

REPLs

REPLs are defined for most of the languages Doom supports (check its README.org to see if it does).

Otherwise, you can define your own for a specified major-mode with the :repl setting.

(set! :repl MAJOR-MODE FUNCTION)

FUNCTION must return the repl buffer. Any window changes are ignored, then handed off to shackle (assuming shackle-mode is on) to display in a popup window.

(defun +emacs-lisp/repl ()
  (interactive)
  (pop-to-buffer
   (or (get-buffer "*ielm*")
       (progn (ielm)
              (let ((buf (get-buffer "*ielm*")))
                (bury-buffer buf)
                buf)))))

(set! :repl 'emacs-lisp-mode #'+emacs-lisp/repl)

Code Evaluation

Run regions or entire buffers with Quickrun. Output is show in a popup window.

Quickrun includes support for many languages, usually by sending text directly to interpreters or compilers. However, occasionally, you'll find a language without support (like Crystal), or a language with better Emacs integration (like elisp).

Here's how you define a "runner":

(set! :eval 'crystal-mode
      '((:command     . "crystal")
        (:exec        . "%c %s")
        (:description . "Run Crystal script")))

A simpler version is simply to use the path to the binary:

(set! :eval 'groovy-mode "groovy")

Or if you'd rather run an elisp command:

(set! :eval 'emacs-lisp-mode #'+emacs-lisp-eval)
